Debuting at the LFW on Day Five, we have designerManju Agarwal's pret line, embodying "elegance, sophistication and style".

Muted colours, a variety of silhouettes and fabrics like stretch lycra, flatbed and knits came together to create Manju Agarwal's ready-to-wear 'Past Continuous' collection at Lakme.

Drawing on the theme of "past and present thoughts and events intermingling seamlessly", bold Western wear took to the runway with hints of Indian styling. Take a look.

First up was this free-flowing black kurta with sparkling detail at the neck, worn over floral-printed churidaar.
